Webservice compatibility issue due to name attribute in wsdl

Question

I'm trying to use a third-party java-based webservice from a .net application. The thing is I'm having compatibility issues regarding the given wsdl. When I try to include this wsdl in my VStudio project I'm getting this message:

Warning: 'name' attribute is invalid. The value 'envio:Foo_Envio" is invalid for data type' http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema:NCName '- The':' character, hexadecimal value 0x3A, can not be used in a name . Line 17, position 20

I've read here that they shouldn't use a colon character in the name attribute, because as a NCName type it's only allowed to use a very short set of them. The thing is when I import this wsdl in a Eclipse web project I've no issues at all. Does any of you have any clue about what's happening in Eclipse that doesn't work in VS?

Thanks in advance.

The concerning wsdl code:

最后，我们与第三方联系，他们更改了name属性，删除了“：”字符。
